Abstract
A thin-film transistor having a thin-film channel region (20) inlaid in a recess (29) along the wall of a multi-layered insulating structure (14), and a gate electrode (12) electrically controlling current conduction in the thin-film channel (20) and separated therefrom by a gate dielectric layer (32). The multi-layered insulating structure (14) includes a spacing layer (28) which is withdrawn from the wall of the multi-layered insulating structure (14) and forms an inner wall of the recess (29). By residing in the recess (29), the thin-film channel region (20) is aligned to the multi-layered insulating structure (14) and the gate dielectric layer (32) separates exposed portions of the thin-film channel region (20) from the gate electrode (12). Thin-film source and drain regions (16, 18) are integral with the thin-film channel region (20) and are self-aligned to the multi-layered insulating structure (14).
